Inherited and inducible chromosomal instability: a fragile bridge between genome integrity mechanisms and tumourigenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer is a multi-step process evolving as the result of the accumulation of a number of mutational events. The growing body of evidence implicating genetic instability as a key feature of this evolutionary process and the risk of malignancy associated with chromosomal instability syndromes highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms that cells use to maintain the integrity of their genomes. Classic...
